Ballymore Group launches new €700m docklands development along Dublin's North Wall Quay

Ballymore Group has today launched its new €700m docklands development, Dublin Landings, which will see 2,000 construction jobs created during its build.

Situated along Dublin's North Wall Quay, the new project is a 1,000,000 sq ft mixed-use development, which will feature 700,000 sq ft of office and retail space along with 273 luxury apartments. 

The site is near the new Central Bank headquarters, the Three Arena and the Gibson Hotel.

The five new office buildings will be completed by 2020 and the National Treasury Management Agency is expected to be included along the development's first tenants in 2018.

Walls Construction has been appointed as the main contractor and will build the first two of the five office blocks. 

Ballymore said that when the development is finished, it will be home to 5,500 people and will create a "vibrant new community in an exciting part of the city". 

"The Docklands area and North Wall Quay specifically, has great potential and we are looking forward to harnessing that. Dublin Landings will showcase our design expertise in docklands development and will bring to life our vision of creating a vibrant community within the area," commented Sean Mulryan, Chairman and Group CEO of Ballymore Group.

The development rights for the 2.35 hectare site were secured by Oxley Docklands Quay, who have partnered with Ballymore to manage and deliver the project over the next four years. 

Ballymore and Oxley recently launched a major London project, Royal Wharf, in a successful joint development. Dublin Landings marks Oxley's first venture in the Irish market.
